Yesterday was very quiet day for
Saturday, but in the evening the
streets grew pretty lively and good
trade was enjoyed by most of the mer-
chants.
Marshal Manucy caught two negro
gamblers yesterday afternoon, when he
arrested them and carried them before
the Mayor. His Honor fined them $40
and costs each, or fifteen days work on
the street.
Mrs. Geo. w. Winchell, formerly one
of our assistants in the bindery and job
room, has purchased the furniture of
Thos. Morrell's boarding house, on Reid
street, and will continue it as heretofore,
with improvements and increased facili-
ties.
The favcrite walk for pedestrians is
out River street, which is always shady
and cool in the afternoons. Almost
every afternoon and evening people in
couples, alone and in crowds, can be
met there enjoying the fine breeze off
the bay and the excellent scenery ON all
sides.
Fruits and vegetables are plentiful in
our market now, and bring fairly good
prices. Watermelons are very fine, and
sell at prices ranging all along from fif-
teen cents to fifty cents each. The
vegetable shipment, are not SO heavy
now as a short while back, but still a
great deal is going forward, which bring
satisfactory returns.
We call attention to the new adver-
tisement of l.. I'll. & w. b. Morrill,, to
be found in another place. They have
an excellent stock of gents furnishing
goods, hats, caps, etc, which they are
selling or hard time basis. They have
n large stock of summer hats on hand
which they are making special drive in.
Read the advertisem ent and give them
call.
Capt. j. f. Lucas informs us that he
has chartered his little steamer. Princess,
to the United States surveying corps for
the summer, and she viii be used while
making the survey of the st. Johns bar,
plying between that point and st. Angus
tine. We also learn that the workmen
will begin the construction of his big
barge ON Monday. and it will soon be
ready for charter.
The wooden sidewalk on the corner of
Lemon and Front streets is getting in
bad repair, and should receive some at
tention. A lady, pushing baby carriage
along there day or two ago, had the
carriage overturned by the wheel COM
ing in contact with loose plank, and
the baby was rolled out ON the walk. For
tunately the baby sustained no injury
and we mention the incident only tC
show the necessity of having the walk
repaired.
The Tampa Tribune thus explains how
the reports of yellow fever in that city
originated: ''Some of our citizens in a
spirit of mischief start reports of cases OF
yellow fever occurring in the town, or OF
some one from Key West running the
blockade and being in town, and these
reports are repeated and gather as re-
peated, and get abroad and do our town
an injury. This is very wrong, and il
not stopped the town council should
find some way 10 punish the parties"
Bright's disease is one of the most ter.
rible and unrelenting affecting humani
ty, and its cure has been the despair OF
physicians for years. In the sap of the
Magney plant it is claimed that this has
been found. Many testimonials affirm
its beneficial effects, and as a natural
product, not distilled and without alco
hol, its use must be unobjectionable to
many who refuse other tonics. The pre-
pared and preserved Pulque is sold by
kud kersting. a. the Moragne Phar
macy.
